Site Review

MNAP offers environmental site review services for many types of projects. Our review involves examining maps, manual and computerized records, other sources of information such as scientific articles or published references, and the personal knowledge of staff or cooperating experts for information on rare and exemplary botanical features in the project area. Typical reviews include:

  • DEP permit applications
  • LURC permit applications
  • development projects
  • zoning petitions
  • subdivisions
  • telecommunications facilities

To submit review materials, please send a brief cover letter describing the project and a map showing the location of the project to:

You may also submit review materials electronically by emailing us.

Please note that site review services may be subject to processing fees. Please see our fee structure.

Forest Management Plan (FMP)
